Hip surgery

This study looked at 82 adults who had hip surgery and received a nerve block (PENG block) for pain. One group got the pain medicine as a manual injection every 4 hours, while the other got it through a pump continuously. Researchers compared pain levels, opioid use, and recovery…

This study looked at how much local anesthetic to use in a nerve block (called PENG block) to control pain after hip replacement surgery. 50 adults having hip surgery received different volumes of the block. The goal was to find the best dose to reduce pain, lower the need for pa…

This study tested whether a nerve block (lumbar erector spinae plane block) guided by ultrasound works as well as spinal anesthesia for hip and upper thigh surgery. Sixty-six adults received either the nerve block or spinal anesthesia, and researchers measured how long it took be…

This study looked at whether adding a deep gluteal nerve block to a standard hip block can improve pain relief and reduce the need for strong painkillers after hip fracture surgery. 68 adults having hip surgery under spinal anesthesia took part. Researchers measured pain scores a…

This study tested whether giving acupuncture during hip replacement surgery helps patients use fewer opioids and recover faster. 484 adults having hip replacement were split into two groups: one received ear acupuncture with mild electrical stimulation while sedated, and the othe…

This study tests two different methods of giving a nerve block (called an erector spinae plane block) to people having hip replacement surgery. The goal is to see which technique causes more numbness in the thigh area. Forty-four adults will be randomly assigned to one of the two…

This completed study looked at 70 patients over 65 years old undergoing hip surgery. Researchers compared two forms of spinal anesthesia (hypobaric and hyperbaric bupivacaine) to see which one causes fewer blood pressure drops. The goal is to find a safer option for older adults,…
